In a landmark display of courage, skill, and sheer determination, an all-women crew from the Indian Armed Forces recently returned to India after completing a first-of-its-kind international open-sea sailing expedition. Covering 1,800 nautical miles over nearly two months aboard the Indian Armed Services Vessel "Triveni," the team charted a bold course across the Indian Ocean to the pristine shores of Seychelles—and into the history books.

This wasn’t just any voyage. It was the first-ever international sailing mission undertaken solely by women officers from the Army, Navy, and Air Force.
